About this Event
Dreaded political debates over the turkey? Want to respond to Uncle George or navigate disagreements over dinner, while still happily sharing dessert together? We’ve got you covered.
This Thanksgiving season, join us for The Art of Disagreeing Better, a hands-on workshop designed to help you navigate holiday dining-room minefields, office friction, and family gatherings with your composure, your position, and your relationships entirely intact.
